Apologies for the audio balance issue. Not sure how/why it happened as the audio was fine during editing. Next time, I've got to do better, Senator!
Many bottles of Jack Daniels died to bring us this video…
i keep looking, but he's infact NOT sitting to my right
I guess Drinker decided to leave the left ear space open in case Pedro Pascal would show up.
You must be a big brain cinephile to appreciate the subtle subtext of the audio being only on the right. Drinker is masterfully showing us that he is ALWAYS right, and never wrong.
Blink three times if Mauler is holding you hostage
If Mauler reviewed every marvel phase 4 movie in one video it would be 3 days long
POV: You and drinker are having a night out at the bar. He is sitting to your right and you seem to have gotten tinnitus in your left ear.
You've opened a can of worms here, now you must do all linked projects!
Sounds like he got himself trapped in the bathroom again.
